• Special Considerations
  1. Please let us know if you plan to begin your trip 1 month or more after your purchase. This will help us avoid sending a SIM card intended for activation prior to your departure.
  2. Some of your information will be supplied to SFR for registration purposes. For this reason, once a card has been registered, we cannot offer a refund for it, even if it has not been used or opened.
  3. Please be sure to supply the registrant's name, prefix (e.g. Monsieur, Madame or Mademoiselle), name, address. If you need to speak with France customer service, you may be asked for your DOB as a verification of registration.
• Activation:
  Your sim card has been activated already, you can use it in France now, but you need to obtain your French phone number upon your arrival in France by dialing 963. A message in French will tell you your phone number.
